A Bacon Blue Cheese Cheeseburger is a mouthwatering combination of rich, tangy, and savory flavors that elevate the classic burger to gourmet status.
To make this delicious burger, start with high-quality ground beef, preferably 80/20 for the perfect balance of juiciness and flavor.
Season the beef with salt, pepper, and a dash of Worcestershire sauce before forming it into patties.
Let them rest while you cook the bacon until crispy, draining it on paper towels to remove excess grease.
Heat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat and cook the patties for about 3-4 minutes per side for a medium finish, adjusting the time to your preferred doneness.
During the last minute of cooking, crumble blue cheese over the patties, allowing it to melt slightly from the residual heat.
Toast brioche or sesame seed buns to add a slight crunch and warmth, then spread a thin layer of mayonnaise or garlic aioli for extra flavor.
Assemble the burger by layering fresh lettuce, thick slices of ripe tomato, and red onion rings on the bottom bun.
